Town Planner

Planning Consultant

Part‑time (3 or 4 days per week)

Derbyshire | Hybrid/Flexible Working

A well‑regarded independent planning consultancy based in Derbyshire is looking to appoint a Planning Consultant to join their growing team on a part‑time basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated Planning Consultant who enjoys working in a smaller consultancy environment, where they can take on a broad range of planning work and play a genuine role in the continued success of the business.

The consultancy works across a varied portfolio of projects and is keen to find someone who is personable, commercially aware, and able to work independently while also contributing positively to a close‑knit team.

• Hold an RTPI‑accredited degree in Town Planning or a related discipline
• Have around 2 years’ planning experience (although candidates with slightly less experience may also be considered)
• Come from either a private consultancy or local authority background
• Be based within a reasonable commute of Derbyshire - ideally Sheffield, Derbyshire, or North East Manchester
• Be looking for a role offering flexibility, ideally 3 or 4 days per week
• Be proactive, organised, and comfortable managing their own workload

• Flexible part‑time working arrangement
• Friendly and supportive team environment
• Exposure to a broad mix of planning projects
• Opportunity to develop within an established and respected consultancy
• Competitive salary, dependent on experience

This role would particularly suit a Planning Consultant seeking better work‑life balance without compromising on the quality and variety of planning work they are involved in.
